My Ears To Yours

With a career that eclipsed many of her peers, King B has reached the pinnacle of success, therefore it comes as no surprise that she will be immortalized. Beyoncé has taken the music industry by storm for the past fifteen years and has received myriad accolades in recognition of her craft. Although she remains humble and does not thirst for press surrounding her good deeds, Beyoncé has supported many charities, as well as, founding her own organization The Survivor Foundation, which housed hundreds of victims from the Hurricane Katrina catastrophe when no assistance was given. She also held food drives in support of Feed America during her concerts and has donated to Children’s hospitals around the world. Now her hometown of Houston, Texas plans to build a monument in tribute of the international superstar. The city has joined forces with marketing company, Armdeonce Ventures, as well as corporate sponsors and private donors, to complete and unveil the project reportedly by the end of 2012. For acknowledgment, every donor and corporate sponsor will have their name etched onto the monument and receive an invitation to the unveiling ceremony and celebration event. Proceeds from the statue will go towards charitable causes, including donations to Hurricane Katrina victims and flooding victims in the  states of Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi.
